  The operation unit 5 is, for example, a push button and a touch panel. The display unit 5a is, for example, a liquid crystal display or a touch panel. The touch panel can be used as both the operation unit 5 and the display unit 5a.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing the inside of the dehumidifier in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the dehumidifier includes a blower fan 7, a temperature sensor 8, a humidity sensor 9, a dehumidifying unit 10, a water level sensor 11, and a control unit 12. An air passage extending from the suction port 2 to the blowout port 3 is formed in the housing 1. The blower fan 7, the temperature sensor 8, the humidity sensor 9, and the dehumidifying unit 10 are provided in the air path. The temperature sensor 8 and the humidity sensor 9 are disposed closer to the suction port 2 than the dehumidifying unit 10. The blower fan 7 is disposed closer to the air outlet 3 than the dehumidifying unit 10. The control unit 12 is electrically connected to the operation unit 5, the display unit 5 a, the blower fan 7, the temperature sensor 8, the humidity sensor 9, the dehumidifying unit 10, and the water level sensor 11.

  The operation unit 5 receives an operation by the user of the dehumidifier. The operation received by the operation unit 5 is, for example, an operation of turning on or off the power of the dehumidifier. The operation received by the operation unit 5 is, for example, an operation for determining an operation mode of the dehumidifier.

  The display unit 5a displays, for example, information indicating the usage state of the dehumidifier by characters, symbols, images, and the like. The display unit 5a may display information by, for example, lighting and blinking of a lamp.

  The blower fan 7 generates an air flow from the suction port 2 toward the blowout port 3 in the air path. That is, the blower fan 7 works as a blower that blows out the air sucked into the inside of the housing 1 from the suction port 2 from the blowout port 3.

  The temperature sensor 8 detects the temperature of air drawn into the housing 1 from the suction port 2. That is, the temperature sensor 8 works as a temperature detection unit that detects the temperature of the room air A. The humidity sensor 9 detects the humidity of the air sucked into the housing 1 from the suction port 2. That is, the humidity sensor 9 works as a humidity detection unit that detects the humidity of the indoor air A. A signal indicating the detection result of the temperature sensor 8 and the humidity sensor 9 is transmitted to the control unit 12.

  The dehumidifying unit 10 removes moisture from the passing air. That is, the dehumidifying unit 10 removes the moisture contained in the indoor air A and generates the dry air B. The water removed from the indoor air A by the dehumidifying unit 10 is stored in the water storage tank 6 as condensed water. The water level sensor 11 works as a water amount detection unit that detects the amount of water stored in the water storage tank 6. A signal indicating the detection result by the water level sensor 11 is transmitted to the control unit 12.

  The dehumidifying part 10 should just be what can remove the moisture in air and can condense it. The dehumidifying part 10 may use, for example, a method of condensing moisture in air in an evaporator of a heat pump circuit. The dehumidifying unit 10 may use, for example, a desiccant system in which the moisture in the air removed by the adsorbent is condensed by a heat exchanger.

  The control unit 12 can control the operations of the display unit 5 a, the blower fan 7 and the dehumidifying unit 10 based on the operation received by the operation unit 5. The control unit 12 can control the operations of the display unit 5 a, the blower fan 7 and the dehumidifying unit 10 based on at least one of detection results by the temperature sensor 8, the humidity sensor 9, and the water level sensor 11.

  The control unit 12 drives the blower fan 7 and the dehumidifying unit 10, for example, when detecting that the operation mode of the dehumidifier is determined to be the clothes drying mode by the operation received by the operation unit 5. Thereby, the indoor air A is taken into the inside of the housing 1 from the suction port 2 as shown by the arrows in FIGS. 1 and 2. The indoor air A is dehumidified by the dehumidifying unit 10 and becomes dry air B. The dry air B is blown out into the room from the blowout port 3 as shown by the arrows in FIGS. 1 and 2. The dry air B passes through the louver 4 when blown out from the blowout port 3.

  The control unit 12 controls the dehumidifying unit 10 according to the amount of water detected by the water level sensor 11. The control unit 12 stops the operation of the dehumidifying unit 10, for example, when detecting that the amount of water in the water storage tank 6 becomes equal to or more than a preset value based on a signal from the water level sensor 11.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view showing an enlarged louver in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the dehumidifier includes a wind direction plate 13, a wind direction plate driving motor 14, and a louver driving motor 15. A plurality of wind direction plates 13 are provided inside the louver 4 along the vertical direction. The wind direction plate 13 is provided so as to be rotatable left and right within a certain angle range. It is also possible for the individual wind direction plates 13 to form different angles with respect to the louver 4. The louvers 4 are provided rotatably in the vertical direction within a certain angular range. The wind direction plate drive motor 14 and the louver drive motor 15 are electrically connected to the control unit 12.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the dehumidifier includes an infrared sensor 16 and an irradiation unit 17. The infrared sensor 16 and the irradiation unit 17 are attached to, for example, the wind direction plate 13 disposed at the center of the louver 4. The infrared sensor 16 and the irradiation unit 17 are electrically connected to the control unit 12.

  The wind direction plate drive motor 14 rotates the wind direction plate 13 left and right within a certain angle range. That is, the wind direction plate drive motor 14 changes the direction of the wind direction plate 13 in the lateral direction. The individual wind direction plates 13 can also face in different directions. The louver drive motor 15 rotates the louver 4 up and down in a certain angle range. That is, the louver drive motor 15 changes the direction of the louver 4 in the vertical direction. The direction of the dry air B blown out from the blowout port 3 changes in accordance with the direction of the wind direction plate 13 and the louver 4. That is, the louver 4, the wind direction plate 13, the wind direction plate driving motor 14, and the louver driving motor 15 function as a wind direction changing unit that changes the direction of the air blown out from the blowout port 3.

  The infrared sensor 16 detects the surface temperature of the object. When attached to the wind direction plate 13, the infrared sensor 16 detects the surface temperature of an object in the same direction as the direction of the wind direction plate 13 and the louver 4. In this case, the range in which the surface temperature can be detected by the infrared sensor 16 is equivalent to the range in which the dry air B blown out from the outlet 3 can be blown. The infrared sensor 16 functions as, for example, a dryness detection unit that detects the dryness of an object to be dried, such as laundry, which is dried indoors. The degree of dryness is, for example, the surface temperature itself of the object to be dried or a value calculated from the surface temperature. A signal indicating the detection result by the infrared sensor 16 is transmitted to the control unit 12.

  Detection of dryness by the infrared sensor 16 is performed, for example, periodically. The detection of the dryness by the infrared sensor 16 may be performed, for example, in response to the control of each unit by the control unit 12.

  The irradiation unit 17 emits light. The irradiation unit 17 uses, for example, an LED light source or a laser light source. When attached to the wind direction plate 13, the irradiation unit 17 emits light in the same direction as the direction of the wind direction plate 13 and the louver 4. In this case, the range in which the light from the irradiation unit 17 can be irradiated is equivalent to the range in which the dry air B blown out from the blowout port 3 can be blown.

  The control unit 12 can control the operations of the wind direction plate driving motor 14, the louver driving motor 15, and the irradiation unit 17 based on the operation received by the operation unit 5. The control unit 12 controls the operations of the display unit 5a, the blower fan 7, the dehumidifying unit 10, the wind direction plate driving motor 14, the louver driving motor 15, and the irradiating unit 17 based on the detection result by the infrared sensor 16. It is possible.

  The control unit 12 sets a plurality of blowable areas as the whole range in which the dry air B blown out from the blowout port 3 can be blown is divided. The number of blowable areas can be set to any number of two or more. The blowable areas may be set to line up left and right. The blowable areas may be set to line up and down.

  The control unit 12 causes the display unit 5a to display the blowable area. The operation unit 5 receives a selection operation for selecting a blowing target area from the plurality of blowable areas displayed on the display unit 5a. When the operation unit 5 receives a selection operation, the control unit 12 operates the wind direction change unit so as to blow air to the air flow target area selected by the selection operation.

  The irradiation unit 17 irradiates light, for example, when the operation unit 5 receives a selection operation. When the irradiator 17 is attached to the wind direction plate 13, the irradiator 17 is irradiated in the same direction as the blowing direction of the dry air B. That is, the control unit 12 operates the air direction changing unit to change the irradiation direction of the light from the irradiation unit 17 so that the light is irradiated in the direction indicating the air blowing target area. The irradiation unit 17 works as a means for visually showing the air blowing target area to the user. In addition, the irradiation part 17 may irradiate light, when the operation part 5 receives the specific operation different from selection operation.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of display content of the display unit in the first embodiment. FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the operation of the dehumidifier in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 4 illustrates a state in which three blowable areas are displayed on the display unit 5a, assuming that the entire range in which the dry air B can be blown is divided into three left and right. The user performs the selection operation on the operation unit 5 to select the air blowing target area.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which the middle blowable area among the three blowable areas in FIG. 4 is selected as the blowing target area. In this case, the dry air B blown out from the dehumidifier is blown to the blowing target area. Moreover, the light from the irradiation part 17 is irradiated with respect to the said ventilation object area.

  Hereinafter, control contents by the control unit 12 will be described in detail.

  For example, the control unit 12 operates the wind direction changing unit so as to blow air for a predetermined time to the air blowing target area selected by the selection operation. The predetermined time may be set in advance, or may be input arbitrarily using the operation unit 5. After the predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 12 may stop the operation of the blower fan 7 and the wind direction changing unit, for example. In addition, after the predetermined time has elapsed, for example, the control unit 12 operates the air direction changing unit so that air is blown to part or all of the blowable area not selected as the air blowing target area. Good.

  The operation unit 5 can also receive a selection operation for selecting a plurality of air blowing target areas. When a plurality of air blowing target areas are selected, for example, the control unit 12 operates the air direction changing unit so as to uniformly blow air to all the air blowing target areas. On the other hand, when no blowing target area is selected, for example, the control unit 12 operates the wind direction changing unit so as to uniformly blow air to all the blowable areas.

  The operation unit 5 can also receive a selection operation in which the user designates a priority and selects a plurality of air blowing target areas. The priority order is specified based on, for example, the order in which the respective air flow target areas are selected from the plurality of air blowable areas displayed on the display unit 5a. When a plurality of air blowing target areas are selected by designating the priority order, for example, after the air is blown to the air blowing target area having a higher priority for a certain period of time, the control unit 12 The wind direction changing unit is operated to blow air for a predetermined time. That is, for example, the control unit 12 operates the air direction changing unit so that air is blown to the respective air blowing target areas in the order of high priority for a predetermined time.

  The control unit 12 may control the display unit 5 a based on the dryness of the object to be dried detected by the infrared sensor 16. For example, the control unit 12 may change the display of the blowing target area on the display unit 5a in accordance with the change in the degree of dryness detected from the blowing target area by the infrared sensor 16. That is, the control unit 12 may cause the display unit 5a to display the progress of the drying of the drying object present in the air blowing target area. The change of the display on the display unit 5a is performed, for example, by changing the color, blinking or the like.

  For example, the control unit 12 may change the display of the blowable area on the display unit 5a in accordance with the change in the degree of dryness detected from the blowable area not selected as the air blowing target area. That is, the control unit 12 may cause the display unit 5a to display the progress of the drying of the drying object present in the blowable area that is not the air blowing target area.

  When a plurality of air blowing target areas are selected without specifying the priority or when no air blowing target area is selected, the control unit 12 determines the dryness of the object to be dried detected by the infrared sensor 16. You may operate a wind direction change part based on. In this case, for example, the control unit 12 causes the wind direction change unit to preferentially blow to the air blowing target area or the air blowable area in which the object to be dried is determined to be slow based on the degree of dryness. To operate.

  The control unit 12 may operate the wind direction changing unit based on the dryness of the object to be dried detected by the infrared sensor 16 when a plurality of air blowing target areas are selected by specifying the priority. In this case, for example, after it is determined that the object to be dried that is present in the air blowing target area has dried based on the degree of dryness detected from the air blowing target area that is currently blowing air, the control unit 12 Next, the wind direction changing unit is operated to blow air to another air flow target area having a high priority. That is, for example, the control unit 12 operates the air direction changing unit so that the object to be dried which is present in the higher priority air blowing target area is dried, and then the air is directed to the next higher priority air blowing target area.

  When it is determined that the object to be dried present in the air blowing target area or the air blowable area is dry based on the dryness detected by the infrared sensor 16, the control unit 12 controls the air blowing available area or the air blowing in the display unit 5a. The display of the possible area may be changed to notify the user that the material to be dried has dried. In addition, the control unit 12 may notify the user that the object to be dried has been dried, by emitting a buzzer sound or the like from a speaker (not shown). The control unit 12 stops the operation of the blower fan 7 and the dehumidifying unit 10, for example, when it is determined that the objects to be dried present in all the air blowing target areas and all the air blowable areas are dry.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the dehumidifier according to the first embodiment.

  The control unit 12 determines whether or not the selection operation for selecting the air blowing target area has been performed (step S101).

  If it is determined in step S102 that the priority order is designated, the control unit 12 operates the air direction changing unit so as to blow air to the air blowing target area having the highest priority (step S103). Thereafter, the control unit 12 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed (step S104). If it is determined in step S104 that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the control unit 12 continues the blowing of air to the air blowing target area.

  If it is determined in step S104 that the predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 12 determines whether there is a next target air-blowing target area (step S105). If it is determined in step S105 that there is a next air blowing target area, the control unit 12 operates the air direction changing unit so that air is blown to the next higher air blowing target area (step S106). Thereafter, the control unit 12 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed (step S107). If it is determined in step S107 that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the control unit 12 continues the blowing of air to the air blowing target area.

  If it is determined in step S107 that the predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 12 performs the process of step S105. If it is determined in step S105 that there is no air blowing target area having the next highest rank, the control unit 12 stops the operation of the air blowing fan 7 and the dehumidifying unit 10, for example.

  If it is determined in step S101 that the selection operation is not performed, the control unit 12 operates the air direction changing unit so as to uniformly blow air (step S108). When the process of step S101 is performed, in step S108, air is uniformly blown to all the blowable areas.

  When it is determined in step S102 that the priority is not designated, the control unit 12 performs the process of step S108. When the process of step S102 is performed, in step S108, the air is uniformly blown to all the air blowing target areas.

  After step S108, the control unit 12 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed (step S109). If it is determined in step S109 that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the control unit 12 continues the uniform blowing. When it is determined in step S109 that the predetermined time has elapsed, for example, the control unit 12 stops the operation of the blower fan 7 and the dehumidifying unit 10.

  In addition, the process of step S104, step S107, and step S109 does not need to determine passage of time. The processes of step S104, step S107, and step S109 may be, for example, determination of whether or not the object to be dried present in the air blowing target area or the air blowable area that is currently being blown has dried.
